have -- wolf blitzer. you can certainly watch us live or dvr the show so you won't miss a moment. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. next, will donald sterling fight to the death? could oscar de la hoya knock him out? i'm going to ask the boxing great tonight. he is my exclusive guest. plus, don sterling's women, the rivalry and secret past. and oklahoma. a witness tells us what went wrong. let's go "outfront." good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett. sterling goes silent while scandal destroys his life. so far the los angeles clippers owner refusing to break his

silence about his racist rant, even after the nba banned him for life. even the president of the united states weighed in. here is white house spokesman jay carney. >> but as a both a basketball fan and as obviously someone who would be concerned about these issues, as so many of us are, he thinks they did the right thing. >> the nba is trying to force sterling to sell his team. will he go quietly? and who will pay him up to a billion dollars to do it? tonight the list of people ready to pay sterling big, big bucks oprah, david geffen, and software billionaire larry ellison. also on the licks boxers floyd may weather and oscar de la hoya. he will join me live in just a minute. but first, jason carroll is "outfront" with sterling's next move. >> should we give away some of the clipper girls? >> reporter: current l.a. clippers owner donald sterling celebrating during better times. he may have to sell much more

than that. >> i am banning mr. sterling for life. >> reporter: nba commissioner adam silver praised for banning sterling from the nba for his racist comments and potentially forcing the sale of his team. >> i'm very proud of the way he has acted, and he hasn't wasted any time. >> this issue transcends basketball. i think the punishment was just right. >> reporter: but will sterling go willingly? >> i think everyone expects him to fight. >> reporter: article 13 of the nba constitution does allow for termination of ownership or membership, but it requires a 3/4 vote from its owners. silver says he already has the support from several of them. sterling does have the right to try to convince any of the 29 other nba owners to side with him. >> any owner who decides to side with donald sterling in this is a fool. in the court of public opinion, he will be just as guilty as sterling. >> reporter: one legal expert says the chances of sterling

winning back his team are slim. but says the 80-year-old's family could ultimately benefit from sterling dragging out the legal process. >> if instead he holds on to the team and then passes away, he would pass it on to his family, who wouldn't have to pay a capital gains tax and would inherit the team at its present value. >> reporter: a forced sell of the team could cost sterling millions in taxes. the nba's position on sterling's family -- there. >> have been no decisions about other members of the sterling family. and i should say that this ruling applies specifically to donald sterling, and donald sterling's conduct only. >> reporter: as for the players' thoughts on a sterling family member owning the team -- >> luckily that's not up to us. the coach talked about it in the locker room. for us, it's tough. but i can't imagine how tough it is for that family. >> reporter: well, the vice president of plays association has already made it very clear

it would not be acceptable to him or others on the team if sterling's wife or sterling's family members try to take the team over. >> certainly a possibility. but we'll see. >> either way there is going to be a fight. >> jason, thank you very much. and i want to bring in world champion boxer oscar de la hoya "outfront" now. oscar, you have said you're interested in buying the team. if he is forced to sell the clippers, obviously for the price tag, we don't know. but we're hearing 700 million, maybe even a billion dollars. we looked up your net worth. 100 million, 200 million, i don't know what it is. maybe you'll tell us. but the question is, can you afford it? where would you get the money? >> well, obviously, i have very influential, powerful with a lot of money friends that i would obviously get together. but, see, the important thing here is that the clippers need a face. they need a face. and what better face than my face with a fighter, a fighter who has been in that ring, who has fought for his life, who has

fought for those world championship titles. i can be the guy because if the team does go on the market, i was born here in los angeles. i was born and raised. i know the players. they're fighters. they just want to be champions. i can bring that championship spirit back to los angeles. >> and let me ask you this, oscar. sterling lost the team because of something he said, that he thought he said privately. everyone has things in their past they have said or done they're ashamed of or not proud of. would you want that kind of scrutiny if you owned a team? >> absolutely not. first of all, he said something that he should have never have said. i mean, look. those words that he mentioned or that he talked about, they're just -- you just don't do that. you don't feel that as human being, why do you feel that? it's not right. and, you know, it is what it is. he said what he said. and now he is paying for it.

and yes, i commend the commissioner for banning him for life because not only did he hurt a lot of people, he hurt himself. but he hurt his team. and, you know, it was wrong for him to do even feel and say that. >> another person who wants to buy this team or has expressed interest is floyd may weather jr. and he said this, quote. i wanted to read to you, oscar, especially what you just said of mr. sterling. he said of mr. sterling, he has always treated me with utmost respect. he has invited me to games, always. he always told me, floyd, i want you to sit right next to me and my wife. what is your reaction to that comment coming from someone who is black? >> well, i totally respect his comments. there is nothing that i can say about it. obviously, you know, do i feel that mr. sterling is racist? i don't know. i've never spoken to the man. but what he said and what is on

record, it's just a no-no. it's not going to wow the world with the public. and he has to pay the consequences. it's unfortunate, but he has to pay the consequences. if he even feels and says that, it was wrong. >> so where, though, do you stop, oscar? the orlando magic owner, has spoken out against same-sex marriage. he has donated money to causes that would oppose same-sex marriage. should the nba apply the same standards to him as they did to sterling and say look, if there is ever any evidence of you making a comment that is slightly homophobic, we're going to ban you for life, force you to sell your team and submit you to public humiliation? >> well, the commissioner made a ruling. and it's up to the commissioner. to make that ruling. and do i believe that he made the proper ruling? i believe so, absolutely. because that in today's world, you just don't feel that and say that. there is no room for that.

and many being a minority here, me being a latino, i think if we can have the proper, the proper face to that organization and get that fighting spirit and that winning spirit back to l.a., i think it's a win-win for everybody. >> because you think that face should be a minority? >> no, i don't think should it be a minority. but it would definitely be -- it would definitely be something different for the league. look, the commissioner mentioned we would want a more minorities involved in the nba, whether it's ownership, whether it's more players, whether it's on the management side. you know, we want more minorities. and i'm stepping up to the plate and i'm letting the world know that i'm obviously interested in being part of that group and

behind the team, if it ever goes up for sale. >> all right, oscar, thank you very much for taking the time tonight. we continue our coverage now with the love triangle that may have brought down donald sterling. plus, ships now headed to the bay of bengal in search of flight 370. deadly flooding in florida tonight. tens of thousands without power. you're looking at double-digits, more than 20 inches of rain in some places. we're going to go live. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced.

donald sterling and his two women. on the same day the l.a. owner was banned from the nba for life, his former mistress, the woman who may have brought him down with audio recordings of his racist rant was seen teasing the paparazzi, telling them she is going to run for president of the united states. sterling ace wife also loves the cameras, attending the play-off game in the midst of the scandal. debor deborah feyerick is with me. >> both are very strong personalities. no question than. rochelle sterling who could have crawled into a hole and died after the humiliation she suffered from her husband said

instead, hey, guess what, mistress, i'm going to sue you. i'm going to sue you for $2.5 million and anything else my husband may have given you because that was my money as well. >> and you don't think it was possibly ferraris and -- >> a range rover. >> just two bentleys. >> exactly. so, you know, but it's very interesting. and also, you know, when you think about it, now the mistress is backing away, or the alleged mistress. now we're calling her the alleged mistress is backing away from any sexual relationship which is clearly spelled out in the court papers. >> and the audio recording she said to donald sterling, well, you love me and i'm a minority. so she used that word. which may not have come with sex. >> it may or may not have. i will say -- >> i'm just saying. >> i know you're just saying, but i'm just saying that you said deborah, that rochelle sterling could have backed away. she should have backed away. i think what she miscalculated. doc rivers asked when she said

can i come to the game? he said sure, because you did nothing wrong. she is the wife who clearly has been hurt here. and she is so innocent. except it doesn't take much to go into those court papers, the federal substitute suit that went against the sterlings, she is in there. she said some things. they own those apartments. they allegedly discriminated against -- she has a pr problem herself. >> there are significant allegations that she also uttered a lot of racial epithets, that she posed as a health inspector and was writing down ethnicities. i agree. the fact that she by herself is sort of litigious is unbelievable. i have been looking at this lawsuit. and what is fascinating is she says that v. stiviano says -- she alleges that she befriended and seduced and enticed and cajoled mr. sterling. i think what is fascinating about that is instead of i think

her anger is misplaced, right? instead of being angry at her husband, she isç angry at this other woman, who i believe she did a service to everyone. she is not a noble character but a service to the country. >> what about the fact that the two ewomen now turn on each other. why were they both with this guy? and then they turn on each other. why is this always the story? >> there are very different circumstances. look, you cannot dismiss what was a 60-year relationship between sterling and his wife. they grew up together. they created a life together. they had businesses together. >> she knew him. >> that's the point. she arguably chose the lifestyle. she chose to stay. she chose to have what she was entitled to. i know a lot of rich men. absolutely. >> and let's not kid ourselves. i googled the whole question of younger women. i imagine this woman is about 30. >> 31. >> well, i can't tell with the thing she has on. but here is the thing, erin. if you google 30-year-old women with 80ish-year-old men who don't have a lot of money, you

don't find a lot of those relationships. isn't that shocking? some are going let me get this straight. the guy has $1.8 billion. he is the owner of the clippers. she gets to sit courtside, l.a. clippers with magic johnson and others. okay. the two bentleys, the ferrari, the range rover. >> of course it is. >> of course that's what it's about. and that's not unusual. well see that over and over and over again. well see the older man with the arm candy, right? but i think, again, the issue isn't v. stiviano. the issue isn't his wife. the issue isn't sort of this tension between the two. the issue is that they were both with an a terrible, terrible man because he has money. because don't tell me that mrs. sterling, having been married for 57 years didn't know that he was racist, didn't know the way he operated. >> to the point you all were making, she may have agreed with those things. she may have been on board with those things. >> if you even said in the court

position, we can't say it on cnn. >> there are a lot of things in a lot of relationships that people learn to ignore in their spouse. that's why relationships last. not because you adopt the -- but also to go to your point, there are no ugly rich men. and so who knows. >> i love that line. but deborah, listen, respectfully, we're talking about a federal suit that they settled. the sterlings settled it for $2.8 million. she is named in the suit. she is named in depositions. >> as an actor. >> but she never negates or never says she didn't say, listen, we can't even say what she said about blacks and hispanics. >> i just want to set the record straight on this. first of all, none of them plead guilty to this. >> they're allegations. >> they paid to settle the allegations. so right there, there was no actual acknowledgment of guilt. there was another thing. one thing that she is alleged to have said which is so offensive, and you know what the term is, i don't have to repeat it. but the person who made the allegation said that she said it under her breath, and he had to

read her lips in order to hear what she was saying. >> people will not perjure themselves with the federal government. all i'm saying is this. this is not an innocent scorned woman. i don't know her, but i would say this. from a pr point of view, you should have kept your mouth shut you. should have stayed out of this, because you have now put yourself in the media spotlight. now she becomes a target, and everything she has done or allegedly done before this becomes media fodder. >> i have one other big question. a lot of people have been wondering this. sort of talking. the mistress. the one who goes by the name v. for visor. shh was archiving their conversations, but do you a motive why she would have leaked this for herself? >> absolutely. one you have this lawsuit. she is being sued for over $2 million by the wife. and so she is thinking i'm going to get you back. but i also think what is interesting is if she leaks it and she is now saying he

consented to it, that could be a defense. because california, like many states are the two-party consent state you. can't have a conversation with someone and tape it unless they have consented and they know about it. now she says he of course consented to this. >> if he picked her as his archivist, that's a bunch of baloney. come on. >> that's what she says. >> what is that supposed to mean? >> that's what i'm asking. >> what is an archivist? >> basically, the reason she was taping is a legitimate reason according to her lawyer is because donald sterling -- >> we got it. donald sterling. >> that he asked her to tape record these conversations. the question is will there be any sort of written proof that that was the case, or was this something that she was doing, you know, to cover herself. because she could say we agreed. >> say there is not written proof. i did not hear and there could still be on the tape where visor

lady asks him hey, donald, just want to make sure. i'm taping you. you good with that? i didn't hear that. so neither is there the audiotape nor is there the paper trail. >> but it doesn't really matter. bottom line, what are you going to do, sue her? the damage is done. the only person it would impact is her. the damage has been done. >> of course there are reports that there could be 100 more hours of this stuff. thanks very much to all three of you. still to come, more on the increasingly bizarre behavior from donald sterling's mistress. plus, deadly flooding in florida tonight. we're going to go live to the scene. and a witness to a botched execution that has sparked outrage around the world. and better endings. grand gestures, happier happy hours. so let's gro something greater with miracle-gro. what will you grow? does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications

breaking news. deadly floods washing out roads, bridges, trapping hundreds. the torrential rains have caused a landslide in baltimore just a short time ago. this was a road. it just suddenly collapsed. you can see car there's teetering along the edge. all homes in the area have now been evacuated due to that landslide. less than 24 hours after a deadly tornado swept through the southeast, claiming at least 36 lives, this is the same storm system. now causing the worst flooding in a generation. a dramatic rescue is caught on tape in alabama after a resident was trapped in rising floodwaters as you can see there. they're dropping under the trees. he ended up surviving. in pensacola, 18 inches of rain fell in just 24 hours. truly a biblical kind of proportion. ed lavandera is there tonight. ed, it does sound biblical.

>> it was a stunning sight to see in the evening hours. we spoke with one resident tonight, erin, who said about three income the morning she started seeing big chunks of the roadway in front of his house start to flop on to his front lawn, and that's when he knew things were going terribly wrong. it was a relentless rainstorm that for most people between mobile, alabama, and pensacola, florida, rivaled the most vicious of hurricanes. >> i've lived here 20 years. i've never seen this happen anywhere in the city like this. >> reporter: and that's saying something seeing the powerful tropical storms this stretch of the coast has seen. leaving massive craters. many neighborhoods drowned in hours and hours of rainfall. some neighborhoods were filled with five feet of water. florida's governor says as many as 300 people had to be rescued from their homes. and this man was dramatically rescued from a tree in alabama.

so what was it like last night watching this water? >> scary. >> reporter: it was? >> scary. i've never been through anything like this. >> reporter: the asphalt of ingrid's street was diced up into chunks that floated away. the floodwaters overwhelmed the neighborhood drainage system. and piedmont road looked like a raging river. this is what her front yard looked like yesterday. this is what the entrance to her house looks like now. this is your swimming pool. my goodness. >> it was surreal. >> reporter: david zimmerman's prized volkswagen beetle was no match for this storm. how high was the water where we're standing here? >> it was up to almost to the doorjamb. and this car was on the driveway. it was literally that high. and it kind of lifted the car up and flipped it over. >> reporter: indra says she felt helpless all night long. >> >> and you're using the towel to try to keep the water out? >> reporter: yes, blankets, towels, everything. >> it didn't work. no way it could work. >> reporter: oh, my gosh.

i don't know where to start. the flood waters left a thick layer of muddy filth inside her house. >> in an hour, everything gushes in. it was the strangest thing. it was weird. it start coming in the house. couldn't do anything. >> reporter: how heartbreaking is this for you? >> heartbreaking. because i don't have flood insurance. i'm alive. it could have been worse, you know. i still got a roof over my head and food on the table. >> how high is the water level now? that's incredible when you were looking at that bug and how it went up to the doorjamb. >> well, where we're standing here, we're told by residents it's probably about waist high at its worst point. it started to recede about 6:00 in the morning. the good news is a lot of the water levels have gone down. you're seeing what is left so people are able to get inside their homes. we're in one neighborhood today northwest of pensacola that looked to have five feet of water at one point that water had already receded and that cleanup process begins. it's going to take a long time. so many of the roadways have to

be repaired as you saw that scenic highway, which is very popular thoroughfare through a portion of pensacola is going to take months to fix. >> ed, thank you very much. incredible how pensacola and baltimore, you see the water just break up the asphalt. it shows you it's not just water calmly rising. it's aggressive and fast flowing. still to come, an australian company says it found a plane in the bay of bengal. investigators tonight are heading to the scene. and officials in oklahoma accused of cruel and unusual punishment. a witness to a botched execution is "outfront." ♪ load! we keep moving to deliver what you need. and that means growth, lots of cargo going all around the globe. cars and parts, fuel and steel, peas and rice, hey that's nice! ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪ ♪ helping this big country move ahead as one ♪ ♪ norfolk southern how's that function? ♪ but they have to use special care

at this moment, ships en route to check out an australian company's claim, that it may have found malaysia airlines flight 370 in the bay of bengal. they say there is a plane there that could be this one. two bangladeshi navy ships are on the way, thousands of miles away from the current underwater search area. these are the images. and as you can see, they're shaped like a plane. the man in charge of the search in the southern indian ocean also says it should be checked out.

>> i think any sort of -- any sort of information that comes forth needs to be investigated. >> anna corn joins me now. the company that put this claim forth is based. how sound is the technology? >> well, erin, the company, geo resonance is standing by its science and findings. there are a bunch of analysts and experts who come on cnn saying this isn't possible. the technology does not work underwater, let alone a thousand meters deep which is where the company claims the plane is. the problem is that georesonance is refusing to divulge its technology because it claims this is an intellectual property. all they're asking is that authorities investigate to find out whether or not this is in fact mh 370, georesonance is

convinced through its imaging gathered from satellites and planes it has found the remains of an aircraft in the bay of bengal, 190 kilometers off the coast of bangladesh. >> amazement isn't quite the word. it was totally incredible when we saw the results that we believe to be the wreckage of an aircraft. yes, incredible. >> reporter: the search began four days after the plane's disappearance, testing for elements such as titanium and copper found in a boeing 777. working off the plane's last radar detection, they searched the northern corridor, covering over two million square kilometers until they found the match. some analysts are skeptical of the technology. >> i think the most fundamental reason for the skepticism is they talk about multispectral imaging. there is no multispectral imageer of anyone i've talked to that i'm aware of is going to penetrate a thousand meters under the ozone watch. >> reporter: director david pope

says he stands by their findings, but is not prepared to divulge their methodology. >> there is a lot of valuable i.t. built up over the last 30 years and it's intellectual property and we plan on keeping it private. >> reporter: no one at georesonance is claiming this is in fact mh 370. but the image of the same area conduct lead days before the plane disappeared turned up none of the elements. their final report was sent two weeks ago to malaysian airlines and all countries involved in the search. but despite repeated efforts to make contact, no one responded. but erin, as we know, authorities are now taking these claims a little more seriously. as you mentioned in your introduction, two naval vessels from bangladesh are on their way to the exact coordinates that georesonance has given authorities. malaysia airlines and the government are also looking much more closely. the company says we are not saying that is in fact mh 370.

but they feel that it is their moral obligation to the families of the victims of the 239 people on board that 777. >> thank you very much, anna. and joining me now are miles o'brien and 777 pilot les abend. let me start with you. these bangladesh ships are heading out there at this moment. they could be there right now for all we know, close by. they appear to be looking on the surface which is from what expert says a moot point. if there is a plane there, they're not going to see any evidence on the surface. should there be an investment in checking this out for real or is it cursory we looked, fine. >> there is no question that we belong investigating this. first of all, the science of spectral imagery is solid. what we've been talking about, what our experts have been talking about is the technology of this company. we don't know the technology because they're not going to disclose it. but i would remind everyone that

inmarsat used proprietary technology. >> which they have never disclosed. >> which they have never disclosed. and we banked all our hopes on that. and the ping data also is being used outside the box. and we know how we've turned up at this point. we've searched our best place there is no airplane. so the bottom line here is you bring a ship out from the southern shore of bangladesh, it's only 115 miles out according to georesonance. you take a look. you drop a side ping sonar device in the water. you scan it. we'll show very shortly what the story. no harm, no foul. in the meantime, the malaysians can continue to scratch their head and tweak the inmarsat data and the ping data and continue to search down there. and if it turns up empty, okay. now we know the plane is not there. and on a chance that they hit gold, it's a wonderful thing for the families. >> miles, rosa flor is a reporter here at cnn, reports that the technology can be used

to see things near to the surface of the ocean. obviously it wouldn't see it at the bottom of the ocean. but these photos were taken a couple of days after the plane went missing. so the plane may not at that point been at the bottom of the ocean. do you think they should take a look? i know you don't think it's there. but do you think they should take a look. >> so you're saying it took a couple of days to sink down to the bottom? is that what you're suggesting? >> i'm not -- i don't know the physics of it. >> this technology does not exist. have i asked every expert in the world of satellite imagery that i can find, and no one knows of any capability that makes it possible from a satellite to detect something as small as an aircraft in the bottom of the ocean a couple of thousand feet down. so this is a complete red herring. and worse, it is what appears to be a company seeking some attention and playing on the emotions of these poor families. so, yes, send the ship out. but it's a cruel thing that they've done. >> all right. let me ask you, les. this scenario involves an intact plane, okay, because that's what

the images would show. and because that's what it would have involved. now, there was no debris found in this location originally. no matter where the plane is, though, whether it's here or in the southern indian ocean isn't the point. the point is a lot of people are talking very seriously, very intelligent, educated people about the fact that this plane could be intact. so let me just ask you this question. how hard would it be to land a plane if you were piloting it on the ocean? intact. >> intact, it would be a difficult task. especially in high seas. i don't know the conditions in that area of the world. but it would -- it just doesn't seem likely. and as you and have i discussed on previous occasions, the mechanical aspect if we go that direction, that airplane would be fractured in a lot of pieces. at least with the scenario that i'm thinking. so having an image that looks like a boeing 777, that in and of itself. >> that makes you feel suspect. >> yes. >> what about not about the specific pictures here, but

wherever the plane may be, is there any scenario you see where the plane may be intact right now that is not by human design as in it ran out of fuel? is there any situation it would be intact? >> not unless it was a totally planned ditching. even if there was somebody at the controls. >> right. >> at the time of fuel exhaustion, i don't see them landing that airplane without it fracturing into some form of pieces. not like the image you see there. >> but of course, also the search in the southern indian ocean where there has been no debris at this point either. >> i actually don't agree with les on that point. i think it really depends on the attitude of the airplane as it approached the water. it depends on the speed of the airplane as it approached the water. i think there are a myriad of ways that this airplane could have landed largely intact. could have broken into big pieces and sunk. short of something nosing in at 500 miles per hour and ending up in a thousand pieces. >> right. >> the image that is shown on that screen.

>> but the image that they're showing on the screen, that's a filtered image based on an elemental analysis of titanium, of aluminum. they overlaid a planned view of a 777 just to say that that field was big enough. all i'm saying is it's worth a look. it's worth a look. >> take a look at the titanium image. the boeing 777 is 7% titanium. take a look at this image. it shows a lot mr. than 7%. and also, it shows a lot of fuel neatly in two wings in the fuel tanks. the whole thing has so many holes in it. look. if this technology really works, aim that satellite at a known ditching site. there was a plane that ditched off of st. croix in 1970, a dc-9. it's sitting there in 5,000 feet of water. aim the satellite at this thing and prove to me that you can see it. i don't believe it. and why, why haven't they aimed their satellite, if it's so

good, at the search site in the southern indian ocean? and if nothing else, to disprove that the wreck is there? >> it's a fair point, although again it gets to the question of, and i hear miles loud and clear on how quickly it would have sunk. but it gets to the point of now for sure it is at the bottom but when they took the pictures perhaps it wasn't. >> the bottom line here is in the time it would take to do what you suggest, we are going to know if there is any plane or something else at the bottom of the bay of bengal 3,000 feet down. it's simple. >> you can turn the satellite around right now and we don't have to wait for that navy ship from bangladesh to go out. listen. if the bangladesh navy wants to do a training mission throughout and see what they can do with their sonar, so be it. >> who cares? >> there are human beings, family members who are hanging on every little fact in this. and i think it's really wrong to give them false hope. >> although i will say, if they end up being wrong, any publicity is not going to help this company. the company is going to go out of business. thanks to all of you,

their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and it comes in a pen.

and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)

which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

tonight the botched execution heard around the world. the man convicted of heinous crimes, murder, rape, burying a woman alive was killed last night in oklahoma. but it is the way he died that has the world talking. officials tried a new cocktail of three drugs to put 33-year-old clayton locket to death. it was supposed to kill him in a few moments, but it took 43. locket ended up dying of a heart attack. two people who witnessed this execution, chelsea washington from kokh and clayton locket's lawyer, david autry, also hear forensic scientist larry koblinski. chelsea, i know this was your first time witnessing an execution. what happened? >> it was my first time. when i got there, i didn't know if i was going to get a chance to watch or not. because it was a later to even get chosen to watch it. but i was picked. we loaded up into a bus and were taken to where the inmates are kept on death row. it was kind of a stale room.

there were windows in front of us, clear windows. and that's when lockett was brought in on a gurney with a white sheet covering him. there were four state officials in the room at 6:30, he was still conscious. at 6:33, they revealed he was unconsciousment but his eyes were still open, he was licking his lips. at 6:39, he was convulsing, he was shaking, things were not going the way they were planned. that is when they closed the curtain to us. you could see the doc, robert patton, pacing back and forth. he was on the phone with the governor. about ten minutes later he came back in and said he decided to stop the execution due to vein trouble, or due to vein failure. and at that point we just kind

of sat there. and i remember the woman next to me saying we were witnessing history and we really were. and there was nothing like it because you could see he was in pain, just visibly convulsing and shaking, something you would never forget. >> david, you knew clayton, what went through your mind as you watched him suffer and die? >> well, it was terribly distressing and a surreal experience, obviously, to see the execution botched in a manner as that one was botched. and last night was a clear violation of the eighth amendment ban against cruel and unusual punishment. because mr. locket's botched execution was clearly cruel and unusual punishment. >> larry, why did this execution go so wrong? i mean, obviously they were drugs bought from a european

country, they don't have execution there anymore. these were new cocktails. >> the first drug is meant to put the person to sleep. it is an anesthetic. the second drug is really used to stop respiration. that blocks the muscles and the third drug really stops the heart. >> the drugs themselves, you don't think are a problem? >> i think the problem was the delivery of those drugs. i think the vein failed. and instead of going into the circulatory system i think it was infusing the tissue around the vein. that is what caused the convulsions. >> now, david, you just

mentioned the issue you see here is cruel and unusual punishment and that is a question for the court obviously to decide. you know, but there are some watching who will say let's just remind ourselves why clayton locket was there last night. he had raped women, raped and kidnapped and buried a woman alive. some might say his death was far less cruel than the victims. >> well, if that is going to be the attitude, then we might as well abolish the eighth amendment. mr. locket was guilty of much worse crimes than you even just mentioned. but the constitution says that no person, regardless of how horrible the crime can be subjected in this country to cruel and unusual punishment. that is what supposedly makes this a civilized society. and taking the argument to its

conclusion, we should not be in a position of treating the murderer, the way they treat the murder victim, otherwise we're little better than the murderer himself. >> and before we go, chelsea, let me ask you this, since you covered it. will you ever attend an execution? >> i will, that is an important part of my job. i take opinion out of it and you simply observe the events in front of you. >> all right, thank you to all three of you.
